The slim remote is a masterclass in sleek design, with a metal casing that stays cold to the touch and has the good sense to limit things to a handful of buttons (power, Google Assistant, settings, home screen, return, and volume controls).
NETFLIX 4K GRAINY FULL
If you plan on watching Full HD content most of the time, the cheaper Horizon model (without the ‘Pro’) may be a better bet. As XGIMI’s first luxury projector range, this misstep is understandable, and this won’t be a deal-breaker for all – especially those relying on 4K sources – but it does tarnish what other might have been a five-star projector. The built-in audio is more than capable for a projector, while the sleek metal remote and fetching black casing of the beamer itself are far more premium than the price point would suggest.įor everyday users, though, SD and HD upscaling really isn’t very impressive, with on/off grain, image artefacts, and color distortion creeping in when you’re not feeding the Horizon Pro quality sources. The flexible 40-300 inch projection size also means you can easily tailor the image to your home, too. Its image quality can be shockingly close to what you’d see on a quality flatscreen, with exceptional brightness control – an area that so many projectors fall short in. The Horizon Pro really excels with native 4K content, and will work best as a key part of your home theater system, ideally with 4K Blu-rays (or at least high quality streams).
